from the airport
customer rating
A name you can rely on
If you've stayed at one of their hotels before, you know what you can expect from the Premier Inn Heathrow Terminal 5 Airport Hotel: a basic Heathrow hotel with everything you need, but a high standard that seems at odds with the budget price. You don't expect everything to be thrown into the cost at a Premier Inn, so you only pay for what you need, but you'll always find the rooms and facilities make some higher-priced hotels look shabby by comparison. The T5 branch is no exception.
As if this wasn't impressive enough in itself, the hotel is just 1 mile away from Terminal 5 and your flight is just a quick trip on the Heathrow Hoppa bus away. It's so close that you can see the planes take off and land from some of the rooms. Not that you'd know with the curtains closed as you won't hear a peep from the airport in your room.
Take them or leave them, the little extras are at hand
If you're looking for food, the hotel has a cosy pub/restaurant, open throughout the day. Outside of the restaurant hours, there's a 24-hour Costa right in the lobby for sandwiches and drinks. If you're pressed for time, there are even vending machines with snacks, drinks and travel essentials, in case you forget something. There's a charging point where you can pay to leave your mobile, MP3 player or games device if you left your charger behind.
If you want to save as many pennies as you can for holiday treats, then the Premier Inn will let you keep track of what you're spending, without compromising on a great night's sleep or convenience for getting to the terminal. If you want to be sure of what you're getting before you buy, this is the hotel for you.
We recommend the Premier Inn Heathrow T5 for:
Great value - For what you're paying, you'll find it hard to believe just how comfortable the Premier Inn is.
Planespotting - Just a mile from the terminal and easy to get to, you can't say the Premier Inn isn't convenient.
Straightforward food - If all you want is a sandwich and a cup of coffee, or a good plate of fish and chips, for a reasonable price, then the hotel's restaurants are just what you're after.
Everything went smoothly with the service and everyone was very polite. Premier Inn room was very comfortable. We did have a small issue as we were delayed a day for our return due to hurricane Fiona. We used a few numbers before we were able to inform them about the delay and was told not to worry they would sort it and we would be charged an extra day’s parking (£15) which I thought was very reasonable. However I did get a phone call on the original day we were supposed to land asking us where we were as our car was ready for collection. I explained I had called to inform them of the situation and they said the information hadn’t been passed on. They said they were sorry and not to worry they would sort it. On the day we went to collect the car everything went smoothly, we only had to wait a short while for the car to be delivered to us, so we were very happy

Good to know
In August 2023, London's Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) expanded to include all terminals at Heathrow Airport. This is part of an initiative to help tackle air pollution.
If your vehicle doesn't meet ULEZ standards, you'll need to pay the daily ULEZ charge when driving through Heathrow – make sure you check before you travel.
Returning to a different terminal? Don't worry the car park constantly monitor flights, they will return the car to the terminal you are landing to.
Early or late? The car park offers a grace period up to midnight at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £20 per day. This is subject to change.
Most standard cars will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit under the 2.05m entry barrier and fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m). Prices are for cars only. If you're parking a van, lorry, minibus, caravan, trailer or mobile home you'll be charged extra.
Make sure you leave enough time for your chauffeur to check your car for damage. It will only take a few minutes, but if you don't leave enough time, this may affect any claim you later make for damage.
All airport fees are included.
Don't forget to print your booking confirmation and take it with you as the car park will need to see this when you arrive.
